Facebook group??....

Yes Walts are going for around $500 these days. Not everyone pulls the colors though. Even Mike himself said we have one of the best colored pieces. Made me soft inside lol

So this little tank was kinda on the back burner for a bit. Things were growing and coloring up, but I wasn't doing much to it. I'm in the process of bringing home a 300 gallon rimless tank, and that tank will prob have my full attention for a while. I'm really excited about it!

 

Decided to take some pictures today of the new scape and how things are ending up.

Looks awesome. Covering the back wall really brings the corals into focus. What did you use to make it black?

 

I see you moved the rics from the wife's tank into this guy. Naughty naughty. But then you broke down that con test tank if I remember correctly, right?

Thanks! I used some window tint I has laying around. I'm going to do one more layer. When the white lights are on you get a little bit of spill. The Ric garden was transferred over when we broke down the 4 gallon. Between the frag tanks, work, and now the soon to be 300 gallon I'm tanked out lol.

Sweet 8lb 6oz Baby Jesus !!! Tank looks absolutely amazing dude !!!!

Thanks guys! I really like the bulb combo I'm running right now. It's pushing towards 20k, but the corals are responding great. I get lots of pop!

Link to comment

What bulb combo are you currently running?

3 blue+, 1 True Actinic, 1 purple+, 1 coral+

 

I also have the leds that run mostly on the bluer side. Just enough whites to get some shimmer.

I agree! I just run blues a couple hours. Gotta see my lps pop a lil bit lol!

 

 

Dayum Alex, looking real good :).

What's this guy Alex?

20951602633_7b9bdcd913_b.jpg

It's a SSC. Just really happy and in about 600 par. One of the highest corals in the tank. The growth on it is different from most Microclados, but I'm sure it's just the light and flow. Was brown for a long time!

 

them zoas at the end.

Lol...I need more zoas. Only got like 3-4 morphs. That's on my too do list as soon as the 300 gallon is up and running.

For sure.

 

Hmmm.

 

And can I see a picture of your aquadelight, please?

Completely forgot your wanted a picture! I'll grab one tomorrow. Going to look through my phone and see if I have anything.
